I’ve been coming here for a couple years now. It is my go to cocktail bar in Oakland. They have an ever changing cocktail menu that blends asian fruits, spices, and teas into novel drinks. The place is vibrant and always looks great. Staff is friendly and service has been excellent every time I’ve gone. Follow their IG to get updates of pop up events. These pictures are from their dessert chef guest, Chef Vince, during Lunar New Year celebrations.

Love the cocktails and food at this queer-friendly, authentically Asian American bar. I loved their Thai Tea cocktail which is no longer on the menu. The music is always a bit loud though.

At the time of this review, Viridian was having their Lunar New Year theme, which is why I finally made plans with my friends to visit Viridian. First off, my friends and I LOVED all the decorations. For the year of the dragon, they decorated the ceilings with paper dragons and had red envelopes all over the venue. We definitely took pictures for the memories! It was crowded on a Saturday night, but the front attendant, Raymond, was very communicative about the wait time. Part of my party got there at 6pm, and we didn't get seated until close to 7pm, but we hung out and ate food at Dave's Hot Chicken two doors down while we waited for Raymond to text me. After we got seated, the staff was very attentive and kind. The cocktails were delicious and thoughtful. I ordered the Lucky Dragon and my friend ordered the Wood Dragon (and got an AWESOME limited edition take-home souvenir). Overall, we had a great night at the Viridian, and if the opportunity presents itself, I would visit again!
